The titles, to be previewed by Mindscape here at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) over the next three days, run the gamut from action to sports to role-playing games, underscoring Mindscape’s belief that PlayStation represents a unique opportunity t o broaden the spectrum of video games in the market.

"We are enthusiastic about PlayStation, both from a technical and a business perspective," said Bob Lloyd, chairman and chief executive officer of Mindscape, Inc. "We’ve forged a long-term relationship with SCEA and we are confident in their ability to de liver a quality product to the market."

First up from Mindscape later this year is V MAX, a one-of-a-kind action game that combines fast-paced racing excitement with futuristic combat as contestants speed through a futuristic world gone mad. V MAX makes extensive use of PlayStation’s 3-D graphics capabilities, putting the player in the driver’s seat for a roller coaster ride they’ll never forget. V MAX is planned for release this fall.

Skill, guts and determination are essential for players of The Raven Project, also scheduled for release in the fall. After the Earth is conquered by an alien force known as the Armids, a small rebel force must strike at the heart of the invading fleet to restore hope to humanity. With a unique and compelling storyline and a wide variety of gameplay, including real-time space combat and planetary combat, The Raven Project is more than a game—it’s an event!

The Warhammer gaming universe gets PlayStation treatment with a line of new products. The first game in the series, Warhammer, is a complex strategy game that combines an intricate plot with advanced, state-of-the-art graphics and interface techniques. Hu mans and elves battle orcs and goblins in a supreme challenge to thwart Chaos and restore order to the world. Available late this year, Warhammer will absorb fantasy gaming enthusiasts like no other software.

Heads are sure to turn with the introduction early next year of Harbinger. This action game is set against an unreal background in the not-too-distant future. A female warrior, half human and half alien, is mankind’s only hope against an army of alien pre dators. Harbinger utilizes groundbreaking 3-D technology to convey an intense visual environment through 360 rotating degrees of real time scaling, isometric-view landscape. With a mix of live action video, ultra-realistic illustration, and advanced 3D mo dels brought to life through the latest in motion capture technology, Harbinger provides an ultimate action experience while maintaining a complexity that will bring players back for more time after time.
